As soon as I caught a glimpse of the Jeffree Star Thirsty eyeshadow palette, the blue and green shades called out to me. It’s not the kind of colours that I personally, or many others I know, reach for – but I think this summer it’s all about colour and doing what the hell you want!

Honestly, I think the green shade, splash is my ultimate dreamy shade – I think it would look great on a feature wall and in this case, today’s feature wall is my eyes. To make the eyes a bit more dimensional and give them the glam rather than ‘thirteen’ year old makeup feel, I added the shade Divine onto the inner corner and centre portion of the eye. My goodness, it makes the shades really pop.

I think the technique itself is a great way to wear colour on the eyes, without keeping it to just the lower lash line or the inner corner – something we see all too often. It’s all about experimentation and honestly, I’m all about that at the moment.
